Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

You are getting what's going on here totally wrong. Your post above suggests you think there's a strong pro-Sherwood lobby out there willing to trot out any excuse to defend him. You are totally wrong about that.

Rather, what you are seeing is a strong anti-hysterical mob lobby. Because as the last couple of pages have shown, a hysterical mob is what we have now. Pitchforks and torches.

Tim Sherwood meant pretty much zero to me before a couple of months ago. He was a guy who won the league with Blackburn in the 90's, and is now coaching at Spurs in some capacity or other. Literally knew nothing else about the guy and couldn't have cared less about him one way or the other. If I'd never heard his name again I wouldn't even have noticed. For that matter, if I don't hear his name again after Monday night I probably wouldn't notice that either.

I suspect 90%+ of Spurs fans are much the same. And yet you seem to think that from that has sprung this virulent pro-Sherwood grouping? True believers in the cult of Timbo willing to say anything to defend him?

Well, you are totally wrong about that.

People are actually responding to stuff like this bollox complaint about him not taking notes in the stand at Anfield. Sorry, we could be coached by Crusty the Clown or Bill Shankly and that complaint would be full depart in either instance. Full, 100% depart. Or, these complaints about our high line against Liverpool when, in fact, we didn't play a high line against fukking Liverpool! Again, I don't care who's the coach or what the tactics are, if people insist on talking such total bollox some of us will call them out on it. The fact it happens to be Sherwood is pretty much beside the point.

well put.

Might as well just close the thread because this post is not going to be topped. I don't see how anyone could possibly argue with any of this. It's clearly some of the people that still have a hard on for AVB that are completely against Sherwood. Personally I don't think Sherwood is good/experienced enough at this stage but some of the criticism of him is absurd, especially considering the staunch defence the last guy got who arguably made even stupider mistakes.
 
Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Great post. 100% on the money.

agreed, on the money Chancer =D>
I know that it doesn't or won't carry much weight, and from a purely management / coaching perspective, it shouldn't.
..But I spoke with TS, whilst on holiday, albeit for a fairly short time. Mainly because i chose it to be short and to the point, as I didn't want to intrude on his holiday.
What I would say, he was very unassuming, and very well mannered, to myself and the people that worked there.
My daughter, started to encroach into his daughters space as they tried to do cartwheels etc. . My daughter was 5 at the time, not knowing who he was / is.
My wife apologised and both him and his Mrs, totally played it down.

It's nothing significant, and it doesn't excuse him for not being the right guy to manage the club, tactically.
But from first hand experience, he and his family, were very grounded people.
Even if people don't want him as Chief Coach next season (myself included), I really don't see the need to totally **** him off. Look at the players first, the ones that are stealing a living.. Jan.

In fairness he was on holiday, probably didn't have a gilet to hand.
 
Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

I think most people are/were in the 'wait and see' camp. I've now seen enough to believe that TS isn't the right man for the job, and certainly not yet skilled enough to keep a coach like Van Gaal out of the door.

Hopefully, we can get plenty of points in the last 6 games and Sherwood can then get a decent managerial role in the summer whilst we go and get a top-class coach as our leader.

No, my post was a tongue in cheek reaction to reflect that
a) Metalgear was right on the money imo and summed up in three short points the issues that many, like myself, have with Sherwood
b) there are one or two posters who indeed would trot out such excuses to defend him. Look back at the thread and you will easily find who they are.


Rather, what you are seeing is a strong anti-hysterical mob lobby. Because as the last couple of pages have shown, a hysterical mob is what we have now. Pitchforks and torches.

Is anybody who questions Sherwood and his methods automatically part of a 'hysterical mob'? Is Metalgear? Am I? If so, how?

See my original point above about the reason for my post.

This is all well and good, but i fail to see the point of this post being directed at me because:

a) i didn't complain about a high-line vs Liverpool or a 'lack of note-taking'
b) I was responding to a post by Metalgear which, unless I am mistaken (and i'm happy for you to correct me), was NOT an example of the kind of 'bollox complaint' that you are railing against.

In fact, more constructive would be for you and others to actually respond to and debate the points Metalgear made which I was sarcastically responding to. He himself said he doesn't hate Sherwood so he can't possibly be grouped as a member of a 'hysterical mob'. I find it interesting that there has only been one reply to his post (apart from mine) thus far..
From your post it would seem there is a very thin line between hysterical 'bollox complaints' and well-written (and imo justified) criticism of Sherwood (even those written so eloquently imo by Metalgear).
 
Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Sherwood is getting beyond the joke in his press conferences now. "Spurs never beat the top clubs and never have?" Jesus Christ, Timmeh clearly forward, just LAST SEASON:

Man Utd 2 - 3 Spurs
Spurs 2 - 1 Liverpool
Spurs 2 - 1 Arsenal
Spurs 3 - 1 Emirates Marketing Project

The guy is becoming a complete embarrassment and is insulting our intelligence into the bargain.

I didn't mean any of my post to be personally directed at you, and I should have said so in my post. It was general criticism aimed at the tone of the Sherwood debate. Apologies if it came across otherwise, my boob.
 
Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood has slapped a €120 million price tag on Hugo Lloris, insisting the club are not willing to offload the goalkeeper.:ross::ross:

The France international moved to White Hart Lane for £11m (€13m) from Lyon in 2012 and still has two years left on his current Spurs deal.

Rumours have been rife the shot-stopper has been eyeing a move away from north London to secure Champions League football, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly keeping tabs on him, but Sherwood is adamant the club want to hold on to the 27-year-old.

“He is one of the best keepers around,” the Spurs boss said, as quoted by the Daily Mirror. “Of course, people are going to want him. But I’m also sure the club won’t be tempted to get rid of him.

“He is one of the top goalies and unless someone is going to spend £100m (€120m) on him – and keepers do not get bought for that money – I don’t think he will leave.

“It was only that kind of figure that tempted the club to sell Gareth Bale – and he desperately wanted to leave and progress his career at Real Madrid.

"[Lloris] hasn’t got to play a blinder for France at the World Cup because people already know what he can do. They know he is a fantastic goalie.

“Even if he was terrible for France, I don’t think it would make a difference as to how people view him. Everyone can recognise it.

“He has never said to me or anyone else at the club that he wants to leave. And he does not perform like he wants to leave.

"He gives everything all the time and that is why he is a favourite of the players and fans.”
.................
 
Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

seriously, does Sherwood even reaslise what he is saying most of the time :lol: mostly its all just verbal diarrhoea
 
Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Please tell me he never said that. I've been losing patience with this bloke for a while, but to make a statement like that would be the straw that crushed the camel into the dirt. Has he decided that because he might not have a job next season that he is best served smashing our players self belief to pieces?
 
Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

It's just a turn of phrase really.
its not just a turn of phrase though:) he validates it by saying "It was only that kind of figure that tempted the club to sell Gareth Bale – and he desperately wanted to leave and progress his career at Real Madrid".........he seriously believes it :lol: no wonder the press guys love him, they must have a great laugh

It blatantly is just a turn of phrase. Stop being ridiculous.
